It is kind of refreshing to see a filmmaker pick out a particular Blu-Ray and hear her admit she hasn't seen it yet. It's something you don't see every day on this channel.
She was on the christmas panel show, "big fat quiz of the year," and the Host Jimmy Carr was introducing her saying, "we're so happy you agreed to come on." She said," I googled all of you and didn't know anyone, but I appreciate the free trip to London." Love her so much
I saw her two days in a row in NYC. The second time, I was standing behind her on line at a coffee shop. I broke my habit of leaving celebs alone because I was in my peak Brooklyn Nine Nine phase. Told her it was the second time in as many days. She said it must be fate and the abruptly turned back around 👏🏼👏🏼
Been a fan of Peretti's for years. Such a natural, smart, sharp presence. I love strawberries too. Will be watching Mikey and Nicky on the Channel tonight, thanks Chelz!
I love seeing people do a blind pick of a movie in the collection! I do that myself all the time and it’s a great way to find movies you never would see otherwise!🥰
I definitely had this on my wall in college. Hilariously because I thought I was so different. "Yea you guys watch Transformers or whatever but I watch obscure underground art films like Trainspotting"
Loved this. Been a fan of hers for awhile. Her blind buy of Girlfriends right out the gate is a great choice. Her mentioning Miranda July, Natasha Lyonne, and Elaine May just makes the whole video perfect. Great work Criterion getting her in the closet!
She’s come such a long way I can still remember watching “Smoking Gun’s World’s Dumbest “ with her (and others) doing comedy commentary for all this home videos.
Love Chelsea Peretti! So genuine and hilarious. Spinster was an understated gem. Her podcast is a blast. Solid picks and charming as always. Thanks CC!
I think I heard her on a podcast saying that she hates doing standup. It's a shame because she's so great at it. She hosted some award show a few years back and her monologue was hilarious.
The Red Balloon reference took me back. If you were from my generation, teachers used to play this for us in school! Looking back, I think it was to fire our imaginations to the possibilities of art, but for us, it was just a treat. and it was more than once.

Wait what, did not realize until now that Gina from Brooklyn 99 was married to Jordan Peele. Also yes, never expected to see her here. Speaking of which, her "Wild Strawberry" bit does sound very much like it was Gina speaking haha.
“Thank you Criterion for 30 minutes of peace” 😂 I love when guests stuff the bag to the brim, and she could definitely teach a class on proper tote bag handling!
THANK YOU Criterion for re-releasing Trainspotting!! One of the 90s greatest films and the new edition is great. One of the quotes I submitted to IMDB years ago was included in there -- when I sent it to IMDB I tried as best as I could to capture the imitation of Sean Connery that Renton and Sick Boy were doing in the pellet rifle scene and it's in the booklet verbatim!
Mikey and Nicky is one of my favorites! And yeah, I also avoided The 400 Blows for a long while but loved it when I finally saw it. Wish they had The Blob '88
Blob '88 is Shout/Scream Factory and if they (or Arrow) ever start doing closet segments, I will pursue a career in the cruel, cutthroat world of showbiz as a pretext for getting in there, haha
This series and the letterboxd top four series give you insight into which actors and directors have taste in movies and who don't and I find that interesting lol. But I'm glad that we get to watch people get over the hump of finding movies intimidating to just enjoying what the world has to offer, and services like CC are making good movies more available which is cool.
I LOVE the direction of her comedy special "One of the Greats" - it is so funny in its cutaways and it made me wonder why so few comedians make the format of their specials funny. Pure joy!
One of the best comedy specials of, like... the last 20 years? Maybe that's too much. But it's very good. It's not on Netflix anymore, so I guess it reverted to her.
Girlfriends from 1978 . I was 20 and either right before or after I went to Army Basic Training then college. I was clueless about women. I watched this film and was probably even more confused. But I went drinking with friends which was something I could handle well back then. 🤣Trainspotting was fantastic. Films like 'The 400 Blows' its better if you clear your mind's cache that you are sitting down to watch a famous Director. Then you find yourself caught up in the characters and let it take you where it should. I'll admit I went to see many of these films because I wanted to absorb Art in film, galleries, Theater and more but luckily I just fell in without feeling like I was fulfilling some character building obligation. Funny how it goes.
I love when she picked the Wild Strawberry movie !! ❤❤❤ I love it that she says , I love strawberries ! She did a fantastic job in picking out great movies in the closet pick ! I was so happy that she picked the The Blob movie with Steve McQueen 😊😊😊👍👍😍😍🤩🤩!!
Goodfellas & Trainspotting are my 2 favorite films of the 1990's. They are the only films i still watch consistently every year from that decade. Yup even more than Pulp Fiction or Titanic.
We watched "The Red Balloon" multiple years during my elementary school run, which, in hindsight, was a little odd because I grew up in the burbs in Houston, TX. I've asked other folks that went to school in other parts of Texas if they watched it as kids and they look at me like I have two heads. Maybe it was more of a generational thing than a regional thing, but, whatever the case, I love that little film.
Love your work...met you at Pete's in Greenpoint back in the day and you were so nice. Good luck on your filmmaking career. Good kids film The White Balloon..
Bergman film. No shredding!!🎉! I am a long time Ingmar fan since teen yrs and ANY TIME someone discovers Bergman is an exciting day. Its my fave Bergman film. No snobbery allowed. Also...400 Blows is beautiful and sad. Loooove it. I love her deadpan comments but so down to earth!! Love her.
There really should be more representation for kids or family friendly films in the Criterion Collection. Outside of Wall-E, the closest is maybe The Princess Bride. How is there not a single Muppets or Jim Henson-related movie in there? Or heck, how about The Iron Giant?
@@thecinematicmindOh yes, you're right. Although, given how many kids got nightmares from Watership Down, I kinda question categorizing it as a kids movie. Heh.
Why? You have Disney and studio ghibli and whatnot. Stop trying to take up space from lesser known films, lost classics, and international gems for the muppets
Petite Maman is really close to being an arthouse kids movie. I wish it went more in that direction (slightly more telegraphed conflicts and emotions mainly).
If your child has anything resembling an overactive imagination, DO NOT show them _The Blob._ Yes, it's hokey, but it's also about a monster that is basically liquid, and can get you no matter where you hide, and where one touch means you're dead. Adults will be fine. Older kids will have few problems. Little kids, and kids with hyperactive imaginations will be scared.
She had me at "most people in the Criterion closet don't know how to hold a tote bag." After that, I smiled all the way through.
How is she holding it better
Men don't hold bags like that.
she had me at Chelsea Peretti :)
I busted out laughing when she said "I hate child actors" 😀
She does not...Put a Baretta hand gun? She knows NY.
It is kind of refreshing to see a filmmaker pick out a particular Blu-Ray and hear her admit she hasn't seen it yet. It's something you don't see every day on this channel.
More folks should select films they haven't seen.
"stakes up the wazoo" is the funniest phrase to use to describe trainspotting but so true
She was on the christmas panel show, "big fat quiz of the year," and the Host Jimmy Carr was introducing her saying, "we're so happy you agreed to come on." She said," I googled all of you and didn't know anyone, but I appreciate the free trip to London." Love her so much

*FACEPALM* Damn, I just realized she's Gina from 9-9! She's also married to Jordan Peele.
Love that she brings a goofiness and awareness of trying to be lofty and pretentious
She’s a Comedian too and has that mastered
@@TangoDelta70right?
I was charmed by the blind/semi-blind picks. Wish more people did that.
Selecting Bergman titles inspired by your love of fruit? Based.
Honestly disappointed hearing she never saw wild strawberries
Wild strawberries take so real...wild strawberries are literally so good...
@@zackalbun9830 The 1987 film 'Housekeeping' has a brief scene of a character eating wild strawberries.
Kudos to her for sneaking The Blob in there at the last moment 😄
jumping from Trainspotting to Crumb. chefs kiss all the way brilliant.
"we are all doing that" she got the movie's idea without watching it
Been a fan of Peretti's for years. Such a natural, smart, sharp presence. I love strawberries too. Will be watching Mikey and Nicky on the Channel tonight, thanks Chelz!

Trainspotting W. I don’t care how many ppl had the poster on their wall back in college, the movie (and book) are still 10/10
I had the birdspotting poster from Loaded mag lol
Definitely on every dorm wall you can imagine
Try the whole trilogy. The sequel and (subsequent) prequel are just as good as the first book.
I definitely had this on my wall in college. Hilariously because I thought I was so different. "Yea you guys watch Transformers or whatever but I watch obscure underground art films like Trainspotting"
@@crustymcgee6580 I hated the sequel. Couldn't stand the characters
One of my favorite CC Closet videos, in fact, one of only two or three that I’ll watch again and maybe again. She cracks me up. 😂
Loved this. Been a fan of hers for awhile. Her blind buy of Girlfriends right out the gate is a great choice. Her mentioning Miranda July, Natasha Lyonne, and Elaine May just makes the whole video perfect. Great work Criterion getting her in the closet!
I wish this was twice as long.
A+ Criterioning
This is now my favorite closet picks video
The Brooklyn 99 Queen!!! Keep influencing us Gina.
She’s come such a long way
I can still remember watching “Smoking Gun’s World’s Dumbest “ with her (and others) doing comedy commentary for all this home videos.
she's so real actually
I also love strawberries. 😀
Yeah, but I only love tame strawberries.
@@cgbleakboooo
Love Chelsea Peretti! So genuine and hilarious. Spinster was an understated gem. Her podcast is a blast. Solid picks and charming as always. Thanks CC!
All those films are top notch. The Red Balloon is my origin story from childhood of the magic of cinema.
the way she just casually dropped "i hate child actors" lmaooo
Her standup special is one of the best. No idea why she doesnt do standup anymore
I think I heard her on a podcast saying that she hates doing standup. It's a shame because she's so great at it. She hosted some award show a few years back and her monologue was hilarious.
Plucking Red Balloon off the shelf. I got misty--the "children's movie" that made us wiser to the world. A great double bill with 400 Blows.
The Red Balloon reference took me back. If you were from my generation, teachers used to play this for us in school! Looking back, I think it was to fire our imaginations to the possibilities of art, but for us, it was just a treat. and it was more than once.
My mother also showed me The Red Balloon when I was a child ❤

Probably the best one of these vids, I love Chelsea 🤣❤️ her humour is unmatched

I did not know these two things. TY

I’d trust her recommendations. She’s awesome ❤
Her comments on miranda july is so awesome I’ve been waiting for someone to pick that movie, it’s one of my personal favourites

“Girlfriends….. Not the TV show 😉” Thank you for making that very important Black cultural reference Queen!
Natasha Lyonne and Chelsea Peretti discussing a ‘pretentious’ movie would be brilliant.
bhai tu idhar bhi aa gaya😭😭
@@AbhishekThakur-ux4zhGirl it’s Criterion. Everyone is here 😂
This is the best Criterion Closet Picks I’ve ever seen.
A breath of fresh air
Can never get enough Chelsea.
That was great. Great shirt too.
Chels Peretts! One of the greats
The Red Balloon? Lucky her; very lucky her child. What a truly magical film❤❤❤

The Red Balloon finally appearing in a closet pick. Thanks Chelsea! One of my all time faves, a wonder of a movie ❤
I love you, Chelsea! Can't wait to see your FILM!!!
Movies for adults and kids:
My Neighbor Totoro, Ernest & Celestine, Song of the Sea, Ponyo, The Iron Giant
The Iron Giant is on Criterion???
@@Adrianovaz2007not yet. let's hope so real soon.
@@thevoid99other company has the rights already with a special edition so doubt it
They’re not concerned about kids which is fine. There’s other companies for that
“As a mom, totally bag 😜” lolll love her realness
oh Chelsea, you had me at Wild Strawberries... ❤
400 blows is brutal and brilliant.

Yes!I feel the same way about Grey Gardens! I love that movie
Love your work...met you at Pete's in Greenpoint back in the day and you were so nice. Good luck on your filmmaking career. Good kids film The White Balloon..
These are so delightful.
I love her. Shes so cool
Best one line review of Crumb ever lol
Couldn’t help but think about Miller’s Crossing when she said joie de vivre.
Baby girl ❤❤❤❤❤love from Australia.Clay ❤❤ keep going
I first saw Girlfriends in a film class in 1982!! It was a Women and Film class in college. Melanie is great in it. An early role!!
Wow, great movie, right out of the gate. Miranda July is a treasure.
Not sure if the ''Strawberries'' was a bit (that was hilarious).
Can't wait to watch her (film) movie.
I wish she was cast in everything! She’s as solid in everything and elevates anything she’s in like Paul Rudd.
Wild Strawberries is one of my favorites.

I just started watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine on Netflix, and now, I'm in love with you.
Chelsea and her husband, Jordan, are amazing people.
Loved her on Brooklyn Nine Nine!
So hilarious in Brooklyn 99. But that cast was something as well.❤❤❤
love what I have seen of Chelsea Peretti in this clip!
The Red Balloon was the OG version of the plastic bag nonsense in American Beauty.
I appreciate your comment SO MUCH! As a chatterbox kid I HATED the Red Balloon with a deep deep passion. 😂
Nah. Red Balloon is a beautiful film, but that scene was copied from a Dorsky film.
Nonsense?.... 🤨
@@pabloata4708 I’ll concede that maybe it’s an acquired taste.
she's the best
„Wild strawberries - I love strawberries“ is like saying „breaking the waves? Hell yeah, I love surfing!“ 😄
She's the most down to earth celeb in this series so far 😆
I like her sense of humor and definitely agree with her opinion about children in movies.
Miranda July is so underrated!!
she’s really lovely

That movie had me scared for a minute as a child lol well the 1988 version.
I used to work at an Art theater when some of these films were released and remember when we showed some of her picks.
Now I kiiiinda want random comedians doing bits on classic, indie, and art movies/films that literally nobody else would understand but us. 🤣
Excellent picks, I’d recommend Zwigoff’s Louie Bluie.
"Thank you Criterion for 30 minutes of peace" 😆
Very interesting selection of films.
Queen Gina Linetti!!! ❤😍🥰😘
She's a riot. I'm glad she discovered Girlfriends in there.
Her and her husband must be the smartest and funniest married couple on the planet.
